I’ll be embarking on a new printer build most likely starting next week…
I’m in the process of gathering parts and finalizing dimensions. I’m going to use this thread to try to document everything I do, ask questions etc.
This will probably be a slow build, but I will get started as soon as I have all my ducks in a row (a lot harder than you think these days).
Plans
Size
300x300x300 print area
I plan to build the frame slightly larger in order to accommodate some mods that require the nozzle to travel outside the print area.
Not final yet, but am thinking 325x350 so my X and Y linear rails are the same size. Was originally going to do 350x350, but it’s not as easy to find rails in 25mm increments, and I’m not sure I want to bother with cutting them
Extruder
Have been mostly settled on one of the Biqu H2 V2S variants.
Still weighing options…
I like the Lite, but not the hard to source nozzle.
I like the V2S Revo, but the nozzle price kinda makes me hesitate
Electronics/Firmware
Manta M8P with TMC2209 drivers
BTT CB1
Klipper
Colors
Black extrusion and hardware
Printed Parts are expected to be Orange PETG. I have a box of Hatchbox PETG I’m trying to get rid of, and it matches my LR3
I intend to mill the aluminum parts myself. I have not yet milled anything aluminum with my LR3, so we’ll see how it goes. Undecided what type of finish will be on it…
Misc
BTT Smart Filament Sensor v2
BTT HDMI 5 or 7…still undecided
Other Mods
Nozzle Scrubber
Klicky Probe
Auto Z Offset with Voron Sexbolt setup
